Wagner Claimed

Billy Wagner has been claimed and now the Mets have 72 hours to trade him. No surprise that he was claimed after the way he threw last night. He hit as high as 96 on the gun and was throwing a good slider, specially the one he struck out McCann on.

I know most people would like to trade Billy because we have nothing to play for this year, but I would keep him and see if he generates more trade value over the next month or so. The only way I would trade him is if the other team eats part of his salary and we get a decent prospect. Otherwise you pick up his option for next year and see what you get for him in the offseason. But the Mets need to keep on of him or Putz you can't have a good bullpen without a good setup man.
